Letter 8
Petticoat Penance Witness
Gets His Comeuppance
Since you told me some readers had expressed an interest, I am writing
to tell you the rest of what happened to me whilst I was a member of Mrs.
Jones' household. It had a permanent effect on me, and speaks well for
the power of petticoat discipline.
Over the next couple of weeks I saw Billy dressed in different outfits,
from schoolgirl clothes to a maids' outfit. In telling my girlfriend at the
time about this she laughed and said she had never thought of that, but
it would be a great way to control a male who was getting out of hand. She
also mentioned since I had not yet started my main paper in my child behavior
class, I should write about Billy's punishment. I thought about it for a
minute and said why not and planned to give her my notes as I wrote them
up and she would type them. I had about two months to get it done and hand
it in just before Christmas break.
In talking with Mrs. Jones, Billy's mom, she stated it was a great way
to make her son behave, and he was becoming a very good boy. She also found
he would do almost anything she wanted to stay out of wearing his sister's
clothes. She added she had thought of dressing him as a baby, but thought
better of it, as he could not help around the house wearing baby clothes,
as she felt he should behave in keeping with the way he was dressed.
In my many talks with her I learnt much. One day she asked me why I was
so interested in what she was doing to Billy and said I sounded like I was
writing a book. I covered up by saying her way of punishing Billy was interesting
and so different, and I just wanted to learn the details of how she had
heard about petticoat punishment and her results employing it.
